      Watched Regression last night, stars Ethan Hawke. Well worth watching if you haven't seen it mate. Starts off as a simple case of child abuse but quickly develops into something more sinister. Couple of good twists but maybe goes on a bit too long after the final one. 7/10

      I saw this the other night. I liked it until the end which for me made it a non-event.

      Saw London Has Fallen yesterday at the cinema, I was out waiting for the motor to be fixed so I popped in to watch it.

      Pretty much the same as Olympus Has Fallen, just a different backdrop, it's okay for a 'shoot 'em up, action packed event'. 6/10

      Need a little help here?

      Batman vs Superman.

      WTF is this all about? Both fighting crime, both on the same side, never met before, all of a sudden they are fighting each other, (this is a guess as I have not seen the film), why?

      Anyone help me on this?
      Why have they met?
      What has them fighting?
      Is one a Klopp fan, and the other a Rodgers supporter?

      I just don't get it, is it just about make money?

      As far as I know, it takes place after man of steel (at least i think it does), and I suspect Batman is pretty pissed at the invasion and destruction of the world, and Superman still being an unknown entity, Batman, unsure whether he is good or bad decides to confront him.

      Really disliked Man Of Steel, so going into this film with low expectations tomorrow.

      Not seen London has Fallen yet maybe give it a go tonight. Finally got to watch Star Wars last night. Pretty good overall, although I nearly switched it off after about half an hour as some of the overacting was really terrible between the black guy and the best pilot in the rebellion. Obviously films aren't shot in sequence so I have no idea when those scenes were shot but they were really terrible so presumably very early in the production as their acting became better as time went on.

      However you don't watch Star Wars for the great acting so I persevered and I am glad that I did as it was well worth watching even though they played it safe by basically copying all the main elements of the original Star Wars film. 

      I was totally underwhelmed by the "new" Darth Vader character and thought that Harrison Ford like Liam Neeson before him stole the picture. I thought the special effects were excellent too.

      Out now mate and well worth watching 8/10

      I really loved Batman v Superman, it's more destined to the comic-books fans ... i don't know what the critics are smoking, but the film was good.

      Even though I didn't like MOS, I actually liked it too. Only irk I have are with Luthor and Doomsday, but other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

      What did you think mate?

      Personally I thought it was great. A comic book movie for comic book fans.

      The negative critical responses are completely unjustified slamming the movie for not being like those "fun jokey Marvel movies".

      I'm personally not a big fan of the MCU movies but I do appreciate them for what they are even if they all follow the same formula they are kid friendly and fun, if forgettable movies.

      I was always a bigger fan of DC characters as they are more complex and gritty, and the lore is meshed with real world political and religious beliefs.

      I really hope all the negative reviews don't turn the general movie going audience off as this movie deserves to be seen on the big screen so the audience can cast their own opinions which I believe will be far more positive.

      I really hope BvS is successful and is a catalyst for the DCU as it is far more intriguing for me than the MCU.

      I watched deadpool last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, probably my best marvel film.

      Yea it's really good, so funny! I much prefer the adult orientated Marvel movies like Blade and Deadpool, I like the Daredevil show as well.

      Gonna watch a few tonight.

      I've Black Mass with Johnny Depp, The Imitation Game with Benedict Cumberbatch and Sicario with Emily Blunt. Will probably watch in that order too. Imitation game has me interested though, really like anything about the world wars.

      The Imitation Game was fantastic. What a brilliant film.

      Black Mass, I enjoyed. Johnny Depp played the role very well.

      Best portrayal of the character yet for me even tops Bale's.       

      I loved every scene he was in, he completely nailed the performance and that warehouse fight scene was a thing of brutal beauty!

      Watched Deadpool last night. Not as good as I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. Expected 9/10 film after reading what people thought, but for me only a 8/10 just for the lack of content. Individual choice I know, but I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was better.

      Definitely worth watching but not sure I will watch it again.
